Chapter 13: The Treacherous Jianghu—After Growth, He Became the Center of Attention!

“Really?”

“You gotta trust your Sister Ling. I never lie.”

As a newcomer, Shen Lang didn’t yet understand the ruthlessness of the world, so he believed Jia Lin’s words. He proceeded to sing five fruit-themed songs in a row.

“The scent of oranges, drifting like my loneliness all these years…” — “Orange Perfume”

“Forgot to put it in the fridge, the strawberries went bad. You once said I was like a strawberry…” — “Strawberries About to Expire”

“Bananas turn into a banana boat, with a row of smiling faces on board…” — “Banana Boat”

“Got stung by bees while stealing fruit, now I’m scared…” — “Fragrance of Rice”

“Are memories just the faint scent of lemon grass?” — “The Taste of Lemon Grass”

“The stone roads of Dabancheng are hard and flat, the watermelons big and round…” — “The Carriage Driver’s Song”

After singing six songs in one go, Shen Lang shouted, “Here’s an extra song for you! We won, right?”

Jia Lin burst into unrestrained laughter and yelled, “Xiao Lang, you’re still too naive! Those six songs just now? Three were from our team, three from yours. So… Xiao Lang, the Jianghu is treacherous. Got it?”

“Xiao Lang, you gotta remember your Aunt Jia Lin—she’s wicked!” Shen Teng clutched his chest and looked up at the sky dramatically.

Shen Lang: “???”

The referee—no, the host, Shen Tao—said fairly, “I think this round should go to Shen Teng’s team. He sang five lines in one go. You can’t just cheat, right?”

“Cheat?” Jia Lin stared at Shen Tao in disbelief. “You’re saying we cheated? Who cheats more than Brother Teng?”

Shen Teng huffed, “That’s all skill!”

“Does anyone believe that?”

“Nope.”

“I believe in Uncle Teng!” Shen Lang shouted.

“See? SEE? This is the one who truly understands me! The rest of you—your consciences have been eaten by dogs!”

Shen Teng loudly declared, “Next round starts now! This mini-round goes to me. Next round… Xiao Lang, you better watch out for your Aunt Jia Lin!” He gritted his teeth on the word “Aunt.”

“Uncle Teng, I’ve grown up now.”

“Grown up? Hah, I don’t see it~” Jia Lin snorted but conceded the round to Shen Teng’s team.

Shen Tao immediately announced the next game’s rule: sing lyrics related to “white.”

“Xiao Lang, watch this. Let your uncle show you how it’s done!”

With that, Shen Teng ran forward and sang dramatically, “A little white poplar tree…”

“Xiao Lang, remember—take it one at a time. Save your moves. You’re the ace. Hold back until the end so the opposing team has nothing left to say.”

Jia Lin protested, “Opposing team? Since when are we the opposing team?”

“Why can’t you be?” Shen Teng smirked. “I could’ve called you the enemy.”

“Uncle Teng, you’re getting cocky today!”

“Damn right! With Xiao Lang on my team, I’m unbeatable!”

“Go! Crush the opposing team’s morale!” Jia Lin waved her hand, and Wang Yuan stepped up.

“The snow fell so deep, fell so earnestly…”

Shen Lang wasn’t in a hurry. He watched from the sidelines, observing. After a while, he noticed Deng Ziqi and Ling Hua’s running styles and said, “Sister Ziqi, Sister Ling Hua… your running styles are iconic. Let me demonstrate for everyone.”

He then imitated both of them perfectly.

“HAHAHAHA—”

The entire audience erupted in laughter.

“Xiao Lang, we told you to save lyrics, not imitate their walks!” Jia Lin said, torn between laughter and exasperation.

“I was observing and couldn’t resist!”

“Hurry up, it’s your turn.”

Shen Lang shrugged, then mimicked Deng Ziqi’s “ostrich run,” sending everyone into another fit of laughter.

“If I could start over, I’d choose Li Bai!”

“That doesn’t count! That’s a person’s name!”

“How doesn’t it count? ‘Bai’ is right there!”

Zhang Jie stepped up. “You’ll never understand the night’s darkness, just like day doesn’t understand night’s sorrow.”

“Xiao Lang, go!” Shen Teng urged.

Shen Lang sang, “White moonlight, a place in my heart, so bright yet so cold.”

Jia Lin objected, “That doesn’t count either!”

“Jia Lin, you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing now.”

“So what if I am?” She crossed her arms defiantly. “Move, I’ve got one!”

“My love is like foam~”

Everyone shouted, “That’s been sung already!”

Shen Lang defended her, “No, Sister Jia Lin is the first to sing this one.”

“See? THIS is my real brother.”

“Sister Ziqi sang ‘foam,’ but Sister Jia Lin sang ‘steamed bread soup’…” He even mimed shaping the bread with his hands.

“Xiao Lang, you’re the best little brother ever.”

“Of course!”

Shen Lang then sang, “What a beautiful jasmine flower…”

“That’s definitely white, right?”

Jia Lin, ever the contrarian, said, “My jasmine flowers are purple and pink, not white.”

“The ones in my yard are all white, a whole field of them!”

Deng Ziqi stepped up again with her ostrich run. Shen Lang followed behind, copying her. Jia Lin kicked him lightly and said, “Xiao Lang, you’ve turned bad.”

“Sister Jia Lin, you taught me in the last round.”

“Xiao Lang, let’s do an imitation. You copy Ziqi, I’ll copy Ling Hua.”

Shen Teng pulled Shen Lang into mimicking Deng Ziqi and Ling Hua’s walks. The audience roared with laughter, and the two women themselves collapsed on the floor, unable to get up from laughing.

“You uncle-nephew duo need to STOP!”

No one even remembered what Deng Ziqi had just sung. After the chaos died down, the game resumed.

From then on, Shen Lang fully embraced his role as the chaotic entertainer—sometimes singing correctly, sometimes messing up, all to steal the spotlight!

In the end, Wang Yuan’s team won the round. But Shen Lang didn’t care about winning—he and Uncle Shen Teng played off each other, throwing jokes back and forth, all to make the audience laugh.

“Uncle Teng, Xiao Lang, your chemistry is insane.”

“Of course!” Shen Teng said proudly. “If I teamed up with Xiao Lang properly, we’d crush you all!”

“Aren’t you teamed up with him right now?”

“This is just the beginning. Give us a few more episodes, and you won’t even see a chance of winning!”

“Boo—”

Jia Lin gestured for the audience to jeer at him.

“You’re all just jealous.” Shen Teng looked up at the sky smugly.
